It’s safe to say that we aren’t in much danger of seeing companies like Ruger and Sig begin to introduce cap-and-ball pistols into the carry market (though one could only hope), but we’re seeing something many folks out there consider a regression: the return to metal-framed pistols.

I have a long history with the FK BRNO Field Pistol. I remember I was around 10 years old when I first got to hold a wheelgun. Then, I had to sneak into my parents’ bedroom because my father wouldn’t let me near his S&W 686. Back then I knew absolutely nothing about revolvers. The
